Givenchy Vetyver ~ fragrance review
Judging by photographs alone, designer Hubert de Givenchy is a man who is comfortable in his skin (and in his well-tailored, but understated, clothes); he always appears at ease — though his eyes often have a dreamy and sad air about them.

However, the older Vetiver in Eau de Toilette strength disappears within an hour on my skin (just as it did “back when”) while today’s lighter-smelling Vetiver lasts all day. When I heard Guerlain was making an “extreme” version of classic Vetiver, I was hoping it would be reminiscent of the 1980s version, but with better lasting power…
